By now everyone knows it has rained a wee bit too much, so I will not waste time on the weather right now. I do want to take this opportunity to brag about my cucumbers though. We ate our first cukes out of the field on June 11! I do not know why they are so early. Last year we had them at the end of June, and I thought that was incredible. Now if only it would dry up I could go pick them. It is a little frustrating when I can see the cucumbers from the edge of the field, but when I step into the field I start to get a sinking feeling. I guess that will happen after 5-1/2 inches of rain in one week. (Oops, I was not supposed to talk about the weather.) At this point I do not think it is worth making hard packed footprints when we should have cukes for the next two months.
We are harvesting a great selection of other vegetables these days. The best lettuce of the year is now available, along with kale, collards, radishes, green onions, broccoli and more. Other than a few stressed-looking low spots, the crops are looking great. We are getting excited for a busy, tasty harvest season.
In other news, summer must be here…my frozen water lines have thawed.
